Well after a 5 day search, my and my parents’ persistence paid off. I went up to Wal-Mart on a hunch after having friends and family over for dinner, even though my folks had already been by Wal-Mart once that day and had been told that they thought they would be getting a shipment in sometime within the week. Turns out that they had gotten one just that afternoon and in an hours time had already sold out. Thankfully, the sales clerk in the department was willing to call around to the other stores to see if they had any in stock. And YES! The supercenter on the other side of town had ONE! I called my brother-in-law who lived just around the corner from it to go lay hands on it and hold it for me while I drove over there.

I arrived and purchased my new Wii. I’ll wait to hook it up until I get a surge protector. This time I’m gonna be prepared. I’m not worried really about the lost VirtualWare I had downloaded, seeing as how I wasn’t really motivated to play the older games and had actually gotten then for my nieces, and the Internet Browser got touched all of once. So no loss on that either.

Last week, just before the release of the Wii Fit game and balance board, I went in search of purchasing the Wii console unit. After visiting five or six places, I finally found one at the local Walmart. Picked up a few games I thought might be fun, and went from there. Two days later, the Wii Fit was released to the stores. I searched high and lo for days hoping to find myself a copy. No luck as every place was sold slam out.

Today my luck was in. I had to run to the Target for something, and lo and behold there were more copies of the Wii Fit. My inner child was squeeing with glee. I didn’t break open the box right away, and waited ’til after the family visited and had dinner to see what all the hoopla was about.

I must admit, I think it will be good for me. It is fun and enjoyable and I can definitely feel the burn in my legs. Combining that with Wii Sports boxing (which helps with cardio and arms) and I think I’ll have a good workout. It beats going to the gym and having to look at all those fit people. Rolls eyes.

My dad passes by the living room constantly and he catches me doing something different every time he does. He chuckles in amusement, but hey that just means that there are two of us getting some enjoyment from the situation.

We celebrated Ashley’s birthday in the Tinkerbell theme. Too cute for words and she was a pixie herself. Ashley’s party had her sister, Amber, her cousin Sheila, and neighbors Ashley and Allison with her to help make the day great.

Decided to take a break from working and web design to do a scrapbook page. My nieces were feeling a bit bored visiting, so they cracked out the old stand-by — notebook and pen to doodle away their time.
